It is illegal for broadcasters to intentionally distort the news.
CBS falsified the Harris interview in order to mislead the public.
I demand the @FCC follow the law and sanction @CBS.
If not sanctioned, legal action must immediately be taken against the FCC & Jessica Rosenworcel pic.twitter.com/D5tpOkP0QH

FCC has rules against ‘News Distortion’ on the public airwaves, as long as it involves a significant event, which this is. CBS must be stripped of their license. https://t.co/8t1zpXxcbe
